Psalms 115
1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness.
Lord, not to vs, not to vs; but yyue thou glorie to thi name.
2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
On thi merci and thi treuthe; lest ony tyme hethene men seien, Where is the God of hem?
3 Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases.
Forsothe oure God in heuene; dide alle thingis, whiche euere he wolde.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
The symulacris of hethene men ben siluer and gold; the werkis of mennus hondis.
5 They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;
Tho han mouth, and schulen not speke; tho han iyen, and schulen not se.
6 they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell;
Tho han eeris, and schulen not here; tho han nose thurls, and schulen not smelle.
7 they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats.
Tho han hondis, and schulen not grope; tho han feet, and schulen not go; tho schulen not crye in her throte.
8 Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.
Thei that maken tho ben maad lijk tho; and alle that triste in tho.
9 O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
The hous of Israel hopide in the Lord; he is the helpere `of hem, and the defendere of hem.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
The hous of Aaron hopide in the Lord; he is the helpere of hem, and the defendere of hem.
11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
Thei that dreden the Lord, hopiden in the Lord; he is the helpere of hem, and the defendere of hem.
12 The LORD is mindful of us; He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron;
The Lord was myndeful of vs; and blesside vs. He blesside the hous of Israel; he blesside the hous of Aaron.
13 He will bless those who fear the LORD— small and great alike.
He blesside alle men that dreden the Lord; `he blesside litle `men with the grettere.
14 May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children.
The Lord encreesse on you; on you and on youre sones.
15 May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Blessid be ye of the Lord; that made heuene and erthe.
16 The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind.
Heuene of `heuene is to the Lord; but he yaf erthe to the sones of men.
17 It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence.
Lord, not deed men schulen herie thee; nether alle men that goen doun in to helle.
18 But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!
But we that lyuen, blessen the Lord; fro this tyme now and til in to the world.
